Description

Hi, my name is Jamil and I'm from London. Currently, I'm working as a software engineer after dropping out of university studying Neuroscience and Psychology. My plan is to migrate from working as a software engineer back in psychology through a creators route.

I am an easy-going and friendly person with a goal to travel to make as many, learn as many languages, explore new cultures and learn more about the world. From this, I hope to pick up new skills and experiences to gain a better perspective of the path I want to take in life.

For leisure, I enjoy exercising, playing sports, hanging out with people and contributing to a community. I have a huge interest in psychology and meditation so living with different people is always interesting to me and understanding how they see the world.

I have had experience in the hospitality sector and I am very self-sufficient and independent with cooking experience.

I've been exercising/lifting for almost a decade now so any heavy lifting is fine for me.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I am a hardworking person with a lot of energy. I am really open-minded, adaptable and quite handy with solving problems. I'm happy working with kids, animal care and working in hospitality.

I am also more than happy to get my hands dirty with garden/farm work since both my parents are gardeners or painting/decorating as long as I get the opportunity to practise and learn new skills.

I regularly workout and I'm used to lifting very heavy loads and so can help out with most lifting and loads. I also enjoy cooking/baking when I can (enough to feed myself at least).

Laissé par le workawayer () pour l'hôte (Share life in devotion to ...)

It was an extremely fulfilling experience, the beginning was difficult but I grew to fall in love with the hard work and sweat because it was all for a beautiful community that I deeply cared about. I connected so deeply with everyone so quickly and that’s difficult to do in years let alone a single month because of the vulnerability and … read more transparency of everyone.

The regular spiritual practise was great and I’m still doing my meditations at sunrise and sunset, i’m glad i was able to learn so much about new cultures and religion. I came for the meditation initially and come out learning a lot more about ancient practises and how beautiful Bhajans can be. Fortunately I was curious enough to attend all the ceremonies, I can imagine some volunteers might feel the evening ceremonies may be too intense for them/not give them space to enjoy their free time so the transparency that Bruno and Ana give for the option to join or not is very welcoming.

I received a lot of support from everyone I think the balance is perfect, Ana is great at looking after everyone and making sure we are looking after ourselves physically and emotionally especially since she is such a warm and kind soul. Bruno is great at showing his passion and love for ceremonies by leading everyone with his guitar and fun and electric personality. Fred is also important in teaching us about the land and tools, making sure no ones confused or lost and taught us a lot about permaculture so that we could support the community and do a good job whilst spending time and having fun with us.

My personal insights were not grand or magnificent at all but quite simple. The silence in everyone’s words, the sound of the birds and crickets, the calming air in the temple that taught me more than any words could have. I’ve learnt to love meditation not to benefit from anything, I’ve learnt about gratitude and how the energy it generates is the greatest form of love, I’ve learnt about attending my meditation and keeping it as simple as that, no fire or fancy techniques just simply be empty.

Awareness and gratitude in the finca has truly changed my way of living and I thank everyone at the finca for showing me and not telling me so that I could experience my own spiritual journey.

The consistent hard work taught me the most, just so much gratitude in living slowly and intentionally. The hot shower after a day of work, food made me love and grace sung with community taught me this is what life is. I’m glad I was able to help and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

The work experience was great, I think we came at a busy time yet it was still structured and supportive which Fred helped out with a lot when Ana and Bruno were busy. I don’t think its easy which makes it so great, the atmosphere of the community is filled with love, vulnerability and curiosity and I never not once felt judgement from anyone and that made me feel authentic as effortlessly as possible.

I agree that friendships built on the basis of spiritual discovery will never end and I will always see the ribbon on my wrist and think about the people, the cats, the temple and emotions at the finca.

I will leave it there haha but I could write forever since I’m truly grateful that they let me stay in their home and looked after me so well and I’m sure I will see them again soon :)

Thank you so much.

We all deeply cherished Jamil’s calm, gentle, considerate, and authentic presence during his three-week stay with us. His protective and caring nature brought a sense of peace to the whole household, and his openness to receive and share was a true gift.

Laissé par le workawayer () pour l'hôte (Experience a village life ...)

This was my first workaway experience and stayed for 15 days and it was amazing, Shamser was an amazing host providing us with beds, food and instructions throughout our stay. We helped out by bricklaying and painting before starting our English teaching and the kids have the biggest smiles and even bigger hearts. The place we were staying at had … read more
